The use of the Ti-30Ta alloy for biomedical applications has been evaluated due to their properties, such as, biocompatibility and lower elastic modulus than stainless steel and titanium CP. When these materials are inserted inside human body the surface properties will affect their response and osseointegration. Surface modifications techniques can be used for change the inert surface of titanium alloys for better interaction bone/biomaterial. Experimental alloy with Ta concentration of 30 wt% was produced from sheets of commercially pure titanium (99.9%) and tantalum (99.9%) and control groups Ti6Al4V and titanium commercially pure (TiCP). Ingots were melted in an arc furnace under an argon atmosphere and re-melted ten times at least. They were homogenized under vacuum at 1000 °C for 86.4 ks to eliminate chemical segregation and cold-worked by swaging. Discs with 6 mm diameter and 3 mm in height were cut for surface treatment. Samples were immersed in aqueous NaOH solution (1 M) for 24h, TiAl4V and TiCP (5M), dried at room temperature, immersed in HCl for one hour and dried at 40 °C in oven for 24 hours. Followed, PCL fibers were deposited on the Ti30Ta alloy discs surfaces by electrospinning. PCL (MW 70000-90000) was used supplied by Sigma Aldrich, a chloroform / acetone (Merck 99.0%) and (Synth 99.5%) in the proportion 1:1 by weight. For solutions, a concentration of 13.6 wt% was dissolved to PCL electrospinning, maintained under mechanical stirring for 24 hours preparing the solution. For the electrospinning process, it was used a device consisting of infusion pump and a collector screen an aluminum plate was used for samples with accommodation. After deposition samples were immersed in 0,3 M CaCl2 solution and 0,5 M Na2HPO4 solution for apatite growth. Morphology of the alloy surface was evaluated by FEM, EDX, XRD, Confocal Microscope, ...
